Chapter 374 Someone Is Following
It makes sense, the two of them fell out in the morning, and in the afternoon Director Wang was taken away by the city discipline commission. Everyone suspects Lin Hao, that's for sure.
However, precisely because everyone would unanimously suspect him, it actually serves as the best cover.
"Secretary Li, what exactly did that Director Wang do to get taken away by the discipline commission?" Lin Hao feigned ignorance and asked.
"Do you remember Wu Jiayao, our former finance director of Wucheng County?" Li Jingyi said.
"Of course I remember, wasn't he taken away by the city discipline commission? Did he rat him out?" Lin Hao speculated.
"He didn't rat out Director Wang, rather..." Li Jingyi was a bit embarrassed to say.
"What happened?" Lin Hao pressed.
"That Wu Jiayao offered his own wife to Director Wang to play with, in exchange for a promotion opportunity, and now the city discipline commission has the video of this transaction..." Li Jingyi eventually said it.
"What? Offering his wife to the boss to play with, is that even a thing? That's wild!" Lin Hao grinned mischievously.
"You cheeky brat, you're grinning so slyly, are you up to some mischief? I'm telling you, if you dare to mess with a subordinate's wife, I'll be the first to not let you off!" Li Jingyi warned.
"I wouldn't dare, I only belong to you." Lin Hao grinned roguishly.
"You cheeky brat, we should reduce our contact in the future, in case anyone finds out anything, understand?" Li Jingyi warned again.
"Got it, but I just miss you, you know." Lin Hao started to pout.
Li Jingyi was really out of ideas with this puppy-like brat and laughed, scolding, "Little lecher, missing you my big head!"
"Sis, do you want me to come keep you company tonight, really want to get you one more time." Lin Hao grinned mischievously.
"Get lost, I don't have time for you, you better behave, I'm worried Director Wang's wrath might spill over onto you." Li Jingyi reminded.
"Got it." Lin Hao's heart tightened.
After all, he had a conflict with Director Wang, and now that Director Wang was caught, he's naturally the prime suspect.
Director Wang couldn't have gotten to be the head of the bureau without some tricks up his sleeve, and someone behind him might just use Lin Hao as a scapegoat.
Actually, if Zhang Yonghong hadn't been captured, this deputy mayor would definitely seek revenge for Director Wang, and Lin Hao would've been in danger.
Lin Hao hung up the phone and called the Natural Resources Bureau and the National Development and Reform Commission, urging them to expedite the process to sell the state-owned land use indicators.
Of course, he also called Yu Peishan, and they agreed to meet for dinner tonight to discuss company matters.
It was soon time to get off work, and as Lin Hao drove away, he quickly noticed someone following him.
Honestly, if it weren't for Li Jingyi's reminder, his alertness wouldn't have been so high, and he wouldn't have noticed the tail so quickly.
Though he didn't know who was behind it, one thing was certain: someone wanted to catch him off guard, or find a flaw.
Actually, these days, Lin Hao had been carrying anti-tracking devices given by Monkey. He also installed anti-eavesdropping software on his phone and other electronic devices.
Only once did he go to Su Muyu's villa and found that she wanted to record the two of them in action, which he discovered and then left.
Su Muyu obviously noticed this too, and after that, she didn't dare to play tricks in front of him, plus he had been with her several times.
During this period, Lin Hao had been followed a few times, but he managed to shake them off, unexpectedly finding himself followed again tonight.
This time, Lin Hao wanted to see exactly who was following him, so he called Secretary Zhang Boqing, who was also the Director of Public Security.
"What? Someone's following you? You need to be careful! I'll send someone to support you immediately." Zhang Boqing was shocked.
"Secretary Zhang, no need for support, I'll drive to the police station, just have someone catch the person following me." Lin Hao said.
"Alright, I'll call Director Liu Bingnian at the police station right away." Zhang Boqing said before hanging up.
Lin Hao wasn't in a hurry, driving around with his tail for a while, even getting out to buy a pack of cigarettes, before driving to the street where the police station was.
Once the car following him entered, the police immediately cut off the road in front and behind, turning the guy following Lin Hao into a trapped bird.
After parking, Lin Hao leisurely walked over to the car behind, knocking on the window.
The window rolled down to reveal a young man in his twenties, with a calm expression asking, "What's up?"
"What's your name?" Lin Hao asked coldly.
"Why do you care what my name is? You're a real weirdo!" The young man acted very arrogant.
"Alright then, let me ask why you're following me? Who sent you?" Lin Hao asked again.
"Who's following you? You own this road?" The young man was still cocky.
Director Liu Bingnian noticed Lin Hao from afar and hurried over with his men.
"County Magistrate Lin, who on earth is this blind person? Daring to follow you, they've got a death wish!" Liu Bingnian shouted.
The young man in the car panicked seeing the police coming to arrest him, trying to reverse, but the way behind was already blocked by the police.
Bang bang bang...
The car crashed into cars parked on the roadside behind, and Liu Bingnian had already rushed over with his team, drawing a gun.
He had no choice; he had heard someone was planning to harm County Magistrate Lin, so he went back to get his gun.
"Get out, or I'll shoot!" Director Liu Bingnian aimed his gun at the young man.
Though there was glass between them, at such close range, if he shot, it'd definitely shatter the glass and turn the young man into Swiss cheese.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot..." The young man raised his hands and got out.
"Cuff him!" Director Liu Bingnian ordered loudly.
Two police officers quickly moved forward, cuffing the young man and bringing him to Lin Hao.
"Now, tell me, who sent you to follow me?" Lin Hao asked coldly.
"I don't know what you're talking about?" The young man remained defiant.
"Director Liu, take him back for interrogation, I want to know who's behind this, why they're following me, but I don't care about the process." Lin Hao said coldly.
"Rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, we'll get him to confess." Director Liu Bingnian responded loudly.
After gesturing, he watched the police lead the young man away.
"County Magistrate Lin, is there anything else you'd like us to do?" Liu Bingnian asked.
"You have two hours, I hope you don't disappoint me." Lin Hao said coldly.
"Rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, I know what to do." Liu Bingnian replied.
"Alright then, carry on and notify me if there's anything."
Lin Hao got back into his car, and with a press of the accelerator, sped off into the distance.
On the other side, Liu Bingnian immediately reported to Secretary Zhang Boqing, who instructed to commence interrogation and find out who was behind it.
